Sunak’s Limited UK Cabinet Changes Leave Tories Doubting Resolve

Rishi Sunak’s limited cabinet reshuffle on Thursday left his Conservatives doubting the prime minister’s resolve to reset the direction of his party as a general election looms ever closer.

The premier faces accusations of dithering, with some Tory members of Parliament saying in private that he has presided over a wasted summer. The sense of drift, they said, is only worsened by Thursday’s ministerial changes and many sought a wider cabinet overhaul to show the party is capable of renewal after 13 years in government.
